Today's Ajax Downs Horse Racing Picks

Scratch

A horse is a scratch when injury or other necessity causes it to be withdrawn from the race.

Trifecta

A wager picking the first, second and third horses in the exact order. A trifecta box means paying more to ensure the horses can finish in any order in the top three spots.

Firm

A dry turf course, equal to a ‘fast’ dirt track.
